... by killing people

Blogger “Surfeited” has a novel suggestion: “Whenever a neoconservative says something should be done ... you can finish the thought for him by adding three little words: by killing people.” Skeptical? Check out the samples.

Surfeited:

... Whenever a neoconservative says something should be done, whether it is democracy promotion, or instilling purpose in an enervated American populace, or diplomacy you can finish the thought for him by adding three little words: by killing people.

[Example:]


David Brooks: It almost doesn’t matter what great task government sets for itself, as long as it does some tangible thing with energy and effectiveness ... [by killing people]

For a couple of years now, whenever anyone says something like, you know we really need to start spending more money on our schools, or roads, etc., I always say, yes we do, but right now we need to be killing people.  Way more important to the people in power.
